Re: [asterisk-users] TDM400p reliability
Hi Joe - What are peoples experience with the reliability of the TDM400p. Specifically in the 2 FXO, 2 FXS configuration, which is the 022 (?) model. Is this board prone to random failures? Back to the original topic... I have 6 of these cards installed in various asterisk installations (used by businesses), the oldest of which is about 2.5 years. There are a varying mixture of FXO and FXS ports on these cards. I haven't seen any failures. All of them have just worked. I saw a complaint in this thread: they can be something of a nightmare to get right with echo issues and the like. Keep in mind that if the quality of the signal on your phone lines is good, you are unlikely to have echo problems. Of the 6 cards I mentioned above, I put 5 of them in place and never had an echo issue. On the 6th, it was an older building with really crappy wiring, and I did see some echo issues. I recently installed HPEC there, and with no tuning at all, it has totally solved all problems. - Noah ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

Is this board prone to random failures? joe a. I'm using one at home in that exact configuration. I have a POTS line and a dock-n-talk cell station on the FXOs and two cordless on the FXSs. I don't recall ever experiencing any failures with it. But, being it's a home PBX it doesn't get a lot of traffic either. -Dave ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users

What are peoples experience with the reliability of the TDM400p. Specifically in the 2 FXO, 2 FXS configuration, which is the 022 (?) model. Is this board prone to random failures? We have quite a few dotted around clients' places to handle emergency calls (and a few other call types we can't run through IAX/SIP to our carrier). I've never had one actually *fail* in the last few years, though they can be something of a nightmare to get right with echo issues and the like. Most of ours are in either 1 or 2 FXO configuration - only a couple have FXS modules on them. Regards, Chris -- C.M. Bagnall, Director, Minotaur I.T.

We have had much better success with the Sangoma A200 Excellent support from Sangoma Works in all modern motherboards - no try another motherboard answers from support Expandable, if needed, to 24 ports Lower price per port, depending on your supplier.

Re: [asterisk-users] TDM400p reliability
There are downsides to the A200 (which I have had very good luck with as well and highly recommend, don't get me wrong). You have to install FXO or FXS ports in pairs, you can't do 3 FXO and 1 FXS for example. The other is having to manage one more set of drivers (wanpipe). Not a big deal though and I've never had any problems doing so. To start a bunny trail, your try another motherboard comment made me wonder about this new VoiceBus technology mentioned on the new TDM800 and TE120P cards. What exactly is it? Is is just a new PCI interface on the card? What makes it work so much better than the other cards? -Dave John Novack wrote: We have had much better success with the Sangoma A200 Excellent support from Sangoma Works in all modern motherboards - no try another motherboard answers from support Expandable, if needed, to 24 ports Lower price per port, depending on your supplier.

It is exactly that; a different PCI interface that is far, far less likely to experience PCI compatibility issues than the TigerJet interface on the TDM400P and TE110P. In addition to that, recent driver improvements in Zaptel have also solved many interrupt-related problems even with the TDM400P and TE110P. ___ --Bandwidth and Colocation provided by Easynews.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
Re: [asterisk-users] TDM400p reliability
Actually I think the additional wanpipe drivers are a major plus. For PRI troubleshooting I even think there are tools that are not present in Zaptel, or are much harder to setup (vs wanpipemon -g). Commitment to multiple protocols, applications and platforms is also another plus. Sangoma supports many configurations I doubt Digium ever will.

Re: [Asterisk-Users] TDM400p reliability????
I have been reading about some of the problems encountered with the TDM400p cards needing a reboot. I am still testing my system so I have not seen this yet. Also my card is showing as a version 2 when I run 'modprobe wtcdm' - is this problem in this card as well. If so can anyone recommend cards that can support FXS and FXO with PSTN (need standard POTS line connectivity) that are reliable and do not require this rebooting (I know about the CISCO cards and the 1760 but that solution is way too expensive ) The easiest way to identify the card version is to type dmesg from the unix command line. You should see output like: Zapata Telephony Interface Registered on major 196 Specify address with base=0xN Registered Tormenta2 PCI PCI: Found IRQ 7 for device 02:0a.0 Freshmaker version: 71 Freshmaker passed register test Module 0: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode) Module 1: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode) Module 2: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode) Module 3: Installed -- AUTO FXO (FCC mode) Found a Wildcard TDM: Wildcard TDM400P REV H (4 modules) The one shown above is REV H. ___ Asterisk-Users mailing list Asterisk-Users@lists.digium.com http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
